MAY 25: Fifth Grade Graduation
On Thursday May 25, we have the following celebrations planned:
  • 8-9am: 5th Grade Promotion Ceremony in the auditorium
  • 9-10am: 5th Grade Reception in the cafeteria
To help ensure that all parents can fit in the space-limited auditorium, we can only allow for 2 people per family to attend. (We have explored the possibility of using other spaces, but the barrier is that many schools in the district are holding similar events, so space and equipment are both very limited.)

Following the reception, some families may choose to take their 5th graders out for a celebration, but there are also many students who stay behind and have a lighter afternoon of school. If you choose to leave early with your child, be sure to sign them out in the office!

MAY 26: Teachers vs. Fifth Grade Kickball Game
Our annual Fifth Grade vs. Teachers Kickball Game will be at 12:40-1:30pm. Other grades come cheer them on. It will be a fun filled last day of school! 
Staff Appreciation Luncheon Enjoyed by All
Multiple flower donations plus fifteen sets of hands gathered to create a festive atmosphere and lunch buffet to honor the teachers and staff of Miraloma. The annual PTA-sponsored appreciation luncheon provides a rare opportunity for the group of nearly 60 to enjoy food and conversation together. Those who happened to be in the area of the library after early dismissal last Thursday saw lots of smiling faces and heard much laughter in the air. Thank you to our fantastic Miraloma team, and to the generous Miraloma community who supports the work they do.
Also thanks to Leadbetter's who donated cookies, and Peasant Pies who provide a discount for their ever-popular hand pies.
